Chapter 318 Part 3
Who do I summon to replace them?
Nias and Kotohogi.
Nias will be helpful as a spear user.
And Kotohogi can fulfill Setsui’s role just fine.
These changes make my lineup stronger.
And at the same time, it makes me want to raise the standard of our fighting power.
Alright.
Let’s hunt some monsters.
Things are going well.
Am I getting too carried away?
I think I can let myself get carried away a little now.
By the way, what about Windmill?
According to the explanation, it seems to be a weapon art that combines offense and defense.
It also says that it’s effective in blocking arrows, but…
I personally think that spears are for thrusting, not for swinging.
I think sweeping at a target’s feet and hitting them on the side of the head or the groin can be used to keep them in check, but…
More importantly than that, I’d like to train my weapon skills that are still at a lower Level.
That’s right.
Let’s try using other weapons.
How about a fighting style that involves throwing Kukris and using Indra’s Halberd?
After all, I have these weapons that can let me fight for long periods of time.
I should be using them too.
《【Dash】Level Up!》
《【Physical Reinforcement】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Florin』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
What time is it?
10:20 PM.
I’m not done yet.
I’ve still got about half of my MP bar left.
Should I keep it up a little longer?
Florin’s AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Hmm…
I’m not sure about what to choose next, but…
Let’s go with DEX for his second stat increase.
Florin Poisonous Bat Lv3 → Lv4 (↑1)
DEX 19 (↑1)
AGI 25 (↑1)
INT 12
STR 12
VIT 12
SPI 12
Skills
Bite Flight Echolocation Evade Ambush Suck Blood Poison
Would it be okay to keep Florin with us?
I think he’ll be fine.
After all, his Poison attack has been quite effective.
Both Trolls and Ogres have self-healing abilities, but there is a fairly high probability that they will fall prey to the Poisoned status ailment.
That in itself has been taking care of these monsters’ self-healing abilities, so I have no complaints.
Florin is doing great.
Spriggan Lv.1
Fairy Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground ???
Umm…
It looks like a Dwarf?
However, it has a sinister look on its face.
Well, I have the Invisibility spell ready, so let’s use it…
Its eyes are following me, aren’t they?
Huh?
It can see me?
The next moment, the Spriggan’s shape changed completely.
It turned into a giant.
Even bigger than a Troll.
Umm…
Is that even possible?
「Pitfall!」
This spell is also ready.
So I’m giving it a try.
Somehow it ends up losing its balance and falls into the hole.
However…
This guy isn’t just bigger than a Troll.
Isn’t it also faster?
There’s only one of these guys…
But aren’t these even more dangerous than the Trolls?
Suddenly, a storm rages.
Florin, who was launching an attack, was blown away!
Me and all of the Summoned Monsters take damage.
Do we have any fatal injuries?
No.
But Florin is in bad shape!
His HP bar is already less than half!
「True Fighting Spirit!」
Then I throw my White Elephant Javelin at it.
And I follow with two Kukris.
While closing the distance with Indra’s Halberd in hand, I prepare a spell and activate it.
The monster’s fist is right in front of me.
Its fist alone is probably bigger than me.
I roll to the side to dodge.
Then I deliver a blow to its elbow after getting back on my feet.
Did it work?
It seems to have worked, but only slightly.
The Spriggan then puts the sole of its foot over the edge of the hole, and tries to get out.
Hey!
Who told you you could get out of there?
I drive Indra’s Halberd under its right foot’s big toe nail as hard as I can.
Oh no.
Maybe this was a bad idea?
The Spriggan falls on its back right back into the hole.
Phew.
That was lucky, wasn’t it?
But there was a terrible price to pay for that.
「Gwaaaaaaaahhhhh!」
It lets out a terribly loud scream.
It’s a different attack from the storm it unleashed earlier.
This one’s a lightning strike.
A rain of lightning strikes starts falling indiscriminately over a fairly wide area.
It’s like a wild thunderstorm.
Oh no!
Florin is in danger!
「Switch Monster!」
Florin disappears.
And who will be taking his place?
It’s Telomere.
Alright.
Now’s our turn to attack.
《【Magic Effect Amplification】Level Up!》
《【Magic Range Expansion】Level Up!》
《【Confusion Resistance】Level Up!》
《【Instant Death Resistance】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Ninetails』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
That was close!
It looks like we did gain a lot from that battle, but it wasn’t easy at all.
All of us have sustained injuries all over our bodies.
In many ways.
The Spriggan’s special abilities are really scary!
It can cause windstorms…
It can make it rain thunderbolts…
Scatter balls of light…
During the battle, its eyes flashed red, causing Kotohogi to fall into the Confusion status ailment.
Looking at the skills that have Leveled Up, it seems it also had an attack with a chance to insta-kill.
Well, putting that aside…
Ninetails’ AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose SPI as his second stat increase.
Ninetails Silver Fox Lv8 → Lv9 (↑1)
DEX 10
AGI 28 (↑1)
INT 28
STR 10
VIT 10
SPI 28 (↑1)
Skills
Bite Evade Dash Predict Danger MP Recovery [Small]
Magical Resistance [Slight] Light Attribute Dark Attribute Wind Attribute
However, Ninetails’ MP bar is already at 10%.
I’m afraid that’s all for today’s battles for him.
Whoa!
There’s more info?
《Summoned Monster『Nias』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Nias is also covered in wounds.
Her HP bar is at about 40%.
Her MP bar is not even at 20%.
Her support via her songs were very helpful.
However, even though she stuck to the rear, she still took heavy damage.
That Spriggan was truly something else.
Nias’ AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose SPI as her second stat increase.
Nias Merrow Lv8 → Lv9 (↑1)
DEX 20
AGI 21 (↑1)
INT 26
STR 10
VIT 10
SPI 20 (↑1)

Is the Info screen done?
Looks like it is.
Then it’s time to set up an Instant Portal.
We’re closing up shop early today.
After all, we’re all in pretty bad shape.
Jericho is suffering from a stat penalty.
That’s a whopping 50% reduction in its base stats.
Then there’s Kotohogi…
It seems that his stats have been reduced by about 30%.
And the Spriggan’s last attack had reduced its HP to 10%.
I guess I should be glad he managed to survive it.
And I’m suffering from a stat penalty as well.
Stats
DEX 22 (-11)
AGI 22 (-11)

They’re effectively halved.
That’s easy to understand.
Not only that, I only have about 20% of my MP left.
Telomere seems to be the only one who’s still able to fight properly, which is terrible!
The time is 11:30 PM.
It seems like it was a pretty long battle, but…
It felt as if it was too short.
It was dangerous.
It was really dangerous.
That’s what I get for getting myself carried away!
After repairing my equipment, my MP bar was already below 10%.
Oh well.
The fact that none of my equipment ended up destroyed is a blessing in itself.
